Custom Field not working

Hi,
I've made a project level custom field in PWA that takes "Total Slack" (in-built duration field) and based on a switch formula gives out 3 values viz. High, Medium, Low The field formula is as mentioned below:
Switch([Total Slack] <= -7, "High", [Total Slack] >= 0, "Low", [Total Slack] > -7 And [Total Slack] <= -1, "Medium")
The formula works very well and displays value as High for projects with Total slack less than -7. However, the formula is not working for Total Slack between -7 and -1 i.e. greater than - 7 and less than -1. The formula returns the value as "High"
only.
I've tried editing and publishing the project both from PWA as well as Proj Professional after updating task duration to calculate Total Slack.
This field is critical and used in many views. I am looking for a solution to resolve this issue. Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

The next step then would be to move away from the SWITCH statement and use a nested if statement, along the lines of....
iif ([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-7,"High",iif([Total
Slack]/[Minutes
Per
Day]<=-1,"Medium","Low"))
Please note that I haven't validated this formula as I don't have MSProject on this PC, but it should be good enough to take you forward.

ESS Personal Information Address- hiding of custom fields not working

In the personal address of ESS we had added four extra fields for communication.
We need to hide the fields when value is zero.
The coding is written in wdDoModifyView of Reviewview in VcPerAddressUSReview
we will get the value of Communication fields like below.Com01 is the context name for communication
String com1 = wdThis.wdGetContext().currentSelectedInfotypeElement().getCom01();
After that if com1 is zero we are trying to hide the fields in that line
by creating a Context node Fcom01 of type com.sap.ide.webdynpro.uielementdefinitions.Visibility and setting Fcom01 to NONE as below.
WDVisibility vsble = wdContext.currentFlagsElement().getFcom01() ;
wdContext.currentFlagsElement().setFcom01(vsble.NONE);
and Fcom01 is linked in the prpoerty of visible condition of comm fields
No error is showing but when we run it is showing a Null pointer exception
in portal for the Review page.
Thanks and regards,
Safeer.I

Hello,
are you checking that com1 is actually populated
do a check like:
if (com1 == null || com1.equalsString("0") )
blah
Sorry - syntax is unlikely to be correct - but hopefully you get the idea - just because you retrieve a value from the context does not mean that it is non-null.
Cheers,
Chris

Address Book, importing text tab file, custom fields not there

Searched thru all past posts. Found some that are close but not what I am trying to do.
Open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Keyword".
I also add two more custom fields in the Phone area called "Work 3" and "Work 4". There are other custom fields I need but I want to keep this short.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Keyword, Work 3 and Work 4 are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 800 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing?
That is my problem.
Adding new contacts as I get them, is fine. Importing 800 contacts with these custom fields is not possible.
I could map them to go to the Notes field along with actual notes but that is inelegant. The custom fields are there, why can't we use them to their full potential.
This appears to be a bug to me. Let me know what you think.

Hi Adam,
Thanks, but the problem is not importing to AddressBook, it is exporting. I did discover from another that I can export very easily to a Numbers spreedsheet. It is exceptionally simple. But it will not export custom fields. Someone said that is because of a vcard standard. My custom fields are just "name" fields that I have labeled differently. But Numbers does not support the name (it only takes the name of the card).

Custom Field not showing in analytics?

We have a custom field on the account object called sales stage. It is a simple pick list (our organization does not use the opportunity object). The custom field is not available in analytics. Is there something on the field setup that needs to be flagged? All of our other fields seem to appear just fine. This is so bizzarre!!
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hm. Still no answers.
We have a similar problem concerning custom fields not available in Answers. It concerns a custom field for an additional tel no. in the user record type. I thought it might have something to do with the fact that it can only be utilized through the other data types, using "owned by user".
But as you have the same problem, maybe there is a solution... Any idea would be appreciated.

Custom Metadata Text Field not working

Hi everyone-
I'm trying to create a Metadata layout the will be a template for all of the editors in my company. I've created a New Schema and added a few custom text fields. The problem is I can't add anything to the text fields, as they are greyed out and unusable (see far right in image). Any ideas of why this might be happening?
Thanks,
-Mark

Hey Jim-
I wanted to follow up on this with you. I ended up creating a "template" project for our filmers to use so we all log our footage the same way. I ended up using an existing schema and adding new, custom text fields. I did a few tests on my system and everything seemed to be working fine. Our filmers are now on a shoot and are beginning to log their footage with our "template". When they enter data in the custom text fields, they end up getting a crash about every 4-6 clips. When they reload their project, none of the logged files have saved in the bin. Any thoughts on why this is happening? Our filmers are using the new MBP.
One other note.. when they enter text into the "description" and other text fields that are not Custom Fields, everything seems to be OK.
Your help / insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

SRM 7.0 customer fields not saved in shopping cart

Dear experts,
I have created 2 fields using the fields extension in the customizing and set the metadata for them to be displayed. The fields are visible on screen. However when data enteres, this data is not being saved in the Shopping cart document.
Any clues?
Another question, which is a bit techno, is when i have extended the SC screen using the enhancement framework instead of using the standard extension options. i would have thought that by binding these fields to the standard header node with the custom fields as structure would have saved me the job of throwing data and fetching data from the table/bapi. This isn't working either. I reckon the problem will be related to issue #1 above.
Regards
Ali

Hello Ali,
did you extend both the structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF? It should be useful to define a custom structure that contains your fields and append it to both the structure named above. Then re-check if the metadata structure has been enhanced properly (in your case, view /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC).
Hope this helps,
Matteo
EDIT: I was assuming you were intended to add new fields at item level. If your task is to add fields @ header level, simply substitute HEADER to ITEM in the structure's name.

Custom fields not display in SRM5.5 Basic Data Frame

Hello Everybody,
      I am working on SRM5.5 Server which i have to add two custom fields in Basic Data Frame..
     No field is display in basic data frame After I added those fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF.
    I added these fields by help of 672960 OSS notes..
   Add also when i execute the program BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE where I entered the program name as SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF and execute but non of them is working fine..
Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..
Thanks,
John.

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...

How can I add a Custom Field in Work Item "Bug" in VisualStudio Online agile MSF Template?

We are using Visual Studio Online for task and bug tracking. The problem we are facing is that very few fields are available to working with. We need to add custom fields to filter bugs on multiple attributes like OS, Device model, Verified in build etc.
We do not have local TFS server setup. The support questions i have read, they ask to update XML file for work item but i dont know how and where to get that xml file. Also is there any particular Role needed to access such configuration files?

hi Zahid
as already written above currently it is not possible to customize a process template on Visual Studio Online.
but for your purpose you can use tags to save the attributes.
see here Visual Studio Online - Work Item Tagging

Custom Field in Work Area of SOCO

Hi,
I have to add custom fields in 'CARRY OUT SOURCING-WORK AREA' frame. Is there any standard structure available for this? i know there are standard structures available for shopping cart and others, but i am not sure whether any structure is available to add custom field in 'CARRY OUT SOURCING-WORK AREA' frame. Please help me in finding out the exact Include structure, which is relevant for my requirement. Also let me know if i have to implement a BADI for this.
Thanks in Advance,
Suresh

Hi Suresh,
It seems that we are looking for the same answer but i haven't found yet the exact BADI to work with it...
Here there is some approach:
In the BBP_SCREENVARIANT BADI there's a method called GET_SCREENVARIANT_SOCO where you can modify the standard screen call from the 0300 dynpro to a 0301 or whatever number dynpro you want to, but the problem it's that i don't know where to generate this new screen and the logic to retrieve the information to fill the new fields that i need....
So i wish this helps you a lil' bit and if you get something please let me know, i get also a post:
Can we hide the 'Create Contract' button in SOCO ?
If you can post any help there i will reward points...

Gerardo.

PO Custom Field not getting filled from Shopping Cart

Hi Gurus,
I am new to SRM. The requirement I had was to add a new field to the SC. I read several posts and articles on this but couldn't find the solution to it. I managed to do this modifying the corresponding structures in SRM and making the necessary changes in R/3 so the new filed can be seen in ME21/22/23N.
I checked Andreas Milbredt document to achieve it as mentioned:
Document: How to transfer custom fields from SRM to Backend.
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/index?rid=/library/uuid/20b36c12-685f-2c10-4fb4-ba2e0b969c27
After that, when I create a Shopping Cart, the value in the New field is not transferred to the Back end.
I coded the following BADIs and User Exits:
In SRM:
BBP_CUF_BADI_2 (MODIFY_SCREEN) ->To enable or disable the field depending on conditions. Works fine.
BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI (BBP_DOC_CHECK) -> To do some checks. Works Fine
BBP_CREATE_BE_PO_NEW (FILL_PO_INTERFACE1) ->Here I fill structures BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM and BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX. I added another u2018Xu2019 to indicate the new field to BAPI_TE_MEPOITEMX. But I think I am not doing it right. This structure BAPI_TE_MEPOITEM/X, does the order of the fields correspond to the order of the fields in any of these 3 structures (which I am using)?
INCL_EEW_PD_HISTORY_CSF
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF
INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC
I also checked the following link:
Map a custom SRM field to a standard field in R/3
In R/3 I populated the Exits Andreau2019s mentions on his article. Am I missing anything else?
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto.

Hi Ernesto,
You can find out how your BAPI structure is being populated (by generating the test data ) using FBGENDAT program and activating the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 (and you will need to set the parameter for the specified user id)... This will provide you ability to execute the BAPI offline and figure out what is happening...
Note 517767 - Generate test data for function modules
Things to look for, Is any of your custom fields quantity fields or integer?
Check out the following OSS note
Note 509898 - BAPI enhancement concept and Unicode
Also check out the following SDN Thread,
problem using BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE to create project definition
Check out a similar thread that we are discussing (for PR)

PS 2013 - Changing the formula in custom field not reflected in the report columns

Hi,
The company where I work have a Sharepoint environment / EPM 2013 with about seven hundred registered projects.
We have a customer demand where it is necessary to change the formula of one of the custom fields of the environment. This field is used in some management reports made in Reporting Services and accessed by the entire board. The report uses as a source
'MSP_EpmProject_UserView' view.
The change in formula was simple, but we found that the change will not be reflected in the reports when the user saves the project in Sharepoint or publish the schedule associated with the Project.
I believe this is the expected behavior of the EPM, but I wonder if there is some other way than through the PSI, to publish all environmental projects.
Best regards,
Armando Machado Gonçalves - Sharepoint / EPM 2013

Hello,
That is expected, it will not update until the project is open and republished. No automatic way to do this without automating project pro. Publishing all projects via the PSI wont cause the plan to recalculate, the plans will need to be opened.

File upload custom renaming not working with {KT_ext}

Hi,
I used many times custom renaming with file upload, and used {KT_ext} for file's extension, but in first ADDT project is not working. I use this:
$uploadObj->setRenameRule("{GET.id_cd}_{track}.{KT_ext}");
Does anybody know if {KT_ext} is broken in ADDT?
Thank you,
Ruben

Hi Günter,
{track} and {id_track} are both table fields, and setRenameRule worked right with both, but it didn't with {KT_ext}.
I've changed {track} with {id_track} in first page, and it stills fail to put extension.
But maybe is this, in first page the column for Update Transaction is like this
$upd_cds_peces->addColumn("mp3", "FILE_TYPE", "POST", "mp3");
and in the second page (where it works right) is
$upd_cds_peces->addColumn("mp3", "FILE_TYPE", "FILES", "mp3");
Althought in both cases the file is uploaded and DDBB field is filled, maybe in first case the TNG doesn't expect a file and cannot find its extension.
I'll try to change it,
thanks,
Ruben
Edit: Yes, it was this... Now it works. Thank you Günter for your help!

Custom field not getting added into MSEG table throuhBADI MB_MIGO_BADI

i have created a new tab in MIGO transaction and created a zfield called ZZcert . i have also created one append structure in MSEG table with field name ZZCERT .
i have created new tab for migo using BADI MB_MIGO_BADI . when i enter value in ZZCERT in MIGO transaction , it is not updated in MSEG table . but in debugging mode im able to see the value in (SAPLMIGO)MSEG . i have tried the option of using Field symbols also . but it didnt work .
I have searched in the forum for suitable answers.
can anybody guide me how to update the ZZCERT value into MSEG table ??
thanks in advance
pavan

Hi,
if i am not wrong these are standard transactions..when you have created a screen then for your field you can click on "get from dictionary" and the map your field(drag a field from MSEG directly on to the custom field on screen) and the you have to activate the screen....i think thats the only thing you need to do so as to update the field value in database...
or else as sugegsted by the post above you need to use BDC recording to update the databse table MSEG.
